Mystery client debrief surveys were conducted with enumerators who played the role of mystery clients who visited facilities enrolled in the Beyond Bias study. 

Mystery clients were assigned an age (16/17 or 24 years old), marital status (married/unmarried), and parity (one child or no children). Each clinic in Tanzania and Burkina Faso was randomly assigned four profiles. Clinics in Pakistan were randomly assigned two profiles. All mystery clients in Pakistan were about the same age (19 or 20 years).

Mystery client visits were conducted primarily in July and August 2021. 

Each row in the dataset represents one visit by a mystery client to a given facility. When the mystery client was not able to see the provider, they came back for another visit. 

Facility treatment status is indicated with the variable "treatment" and facility ID is represented by CID. Mystery client ID is represented by visit_id_n and the characteristics played by the mystery client are represented in age/age_pk, married, and parity. The method preference assigned to the client is represented in method_pref.

Files include a dataset, codebook, and the instrument used for the study.
